Apex Shadow - Narrators and characters for a dark superhero audio drama
hellobetch for Lena Burrows / Nightstar
A struggling twenty-something superhero, suspected of accidentally killing a villain at the start of our third arc. She's beside herself with the idea that she might have done something like this, and the story's all about exploring that, while trying to pin down the truth of what happened. Lena is very sweet, very justice-minded. Honestly, she's practically a shonen protagonist, for you anime lovers out there! Very much about doing what's right and bringing smiles to other people. A bit of forced bravado, for the sake of other people. Prone to making hilariously bad puns while in costume. May show up in future episodes!
[Turning herself in at the start of episode 4-- shaken, holding back tears]
My name is Lena. Lena Burrows. I... I'm sorry, but I think... I may have killed someone tonight.[Convening with her lawyer, Megan Baxter. Reflecting on the night's events. Unsure.]
I don't... I'm not entirely sure how it happened, I... he was down. He was hurt, but he was okay. But then... when I looked out the window again, there was... there was so much blood, Ms. Baxter. I've never seen... so much blood before. I don't know what I did. I don't understand... I was so careful!
[Arguing with Kate in interrogation- defending her actions as a superhero. Both regretful and angry.]
Do you know how many people he's hurt? I was trying to stop him! I was trying to save people, Detective. Where were you, huh? What's your excuse? I... even if I messed up... at least I was trying to do the right thing, wasn't I? Doesn't that mean anything to you?
